As a journo, it's kind of your duty to report on this stuff. but for gods sake be careful out there Dave, i watched a lot of the live feeds from Portland a few years back, it got intense.
Stolen people on stolen land, oof that hits me in the feels. It's insane seeing so many soldiers there, probably feeling personally conflicted but following orders anyway. Hoping they're not ordered to do something they can't come back from.
Such brave people. The entire world’s working class needs to watch, learn and rise up and resist the rise of fascism. It’s coming to a town hear us all. Stay safe David.
I’m quite amazed at how many big “mainstream” media outlets are reporting on this. Showing footage taken exactly at the same place and time as Davids. It gives me a sense that some news organisations have had enough.
However, I get my news from the source rather than social media, who knows what platforms like Meta and X are censoring rn.
very much appreciate you keeping us updated from the ground - my kid and I are watching and she's learning a lot about the importance of journalism and courage.
Thank you for being out there and sharing this to the world. Wild fucking ride listening to you talk about American Baseball to our descent into fascism. Stay safe ♥️
Yeah, the Flightless Bird vibe is an interesting one - it's not a news podcast, it's generally pop culture - but yeah, we'll be doing a National Guard episode for sure. Not this week, but next I imagine.
Looking forward to it. I respect and enjoy all the journalism you do, no matter the topic. I hope you have some breathing and eye protection. Thank you again and fuck ice
Tautoko those brave people “stolen people on stolen land”…….”the system is broken”……brave, brave people, all of you!!!! “This is what democracy looks like”!!!!!!!!

This is what David Seymour wants for Aotearoa. Civil war is all part of the plan. Hold on to your hats! Spread peace!
He would deny that, and claim these people are uncapable of civil debate. Such a disingenuous arseh@le
I’m watching the live video. Please be safe if they’re already releasing stuff into the air. And I hope all the protestors are safe as well.
Thanks for watching and sorry it was so PATCHY. Have some plans for next time (also just needed a better 5G connection!)
These brave and articulate people. Thank you for sharing, tautoko other comments, kia tūpato - be careful.

Thank you for recording this. It’s been hard to distill what is going on via social media since there is shit coverage on mainstream media. Be safe.

That feeling that California was separate from everything happening… it’s terrifying how fast that’s changed
He said if he was elected, this is what he would do. This situation that looks like a fucking dystopian movie - unbelievable but not.
This BEYOND fucked up. The senile orange clown needs to be arrested and in prison for life.
The absolute courage and bravery of these peaceful protesters should be seen by anyone who cares about preserving democracy and freedom.
What’s happening now is a blatant violation against the Constitution. The National Guard took an oath to defend it, not Felon 47.
Congress can stop this. Why haven’t they?
Thank you for recording and reporting in real time, David. For the love of Lucifer, stay safe.

Watching you on The Independent's live feed on YouTube. Stay safe!
